I'm hoping to have a VA Box there running all these, or at least a

I'll probably have an IBM laptop with some programming stuff on it. I have
metrowerks Code Warrior (not that I've used it much, BxPro and some other stuff

I hope to have VMWare set up on at least one of these machines. (yea, I know
you have to run windows in there, but I'd be real nervous about demoing WINE
